Alan Gilbert on the viola: together with the Elphier Quartet, the trained violinist and violist performs works by Schubert, Britten, Bruch and Schulhoff in the Elbphilharmonie’s Small Hall.
Johannes Brahms, an early admirer of Bach and Beethoven, only discovered his love for Schubert relatively late. He felt it all the more intensely – and the more the Austrian composer eventually rose in his esteem. For many years, he was an unofficial contributor to the first major Schubert complete edition – and in this way became a profound connoisseur of Schubert’s works.
